About

SmartyPup! is a San Francisco-based training center offering science-based, family-inclusive classes rooted in applied learning theory for dogs from 8 weeks to 18 years. They provide structured programs including Puppy classes, Socials, and a Day Camp for puppies aged 8 to 14 weeks.

What people say

Owners consistently praise SmartyPup! for its compassionate, personalized training that effectively builds confidence in anxious or reactive puppies, with specific acclaim for founder Fawn Pierre Erler and trainer Nicole. While the business is highly rated for its supportive atmosphere and real-world skill-building, one search snippet incorrectly lists the location as permanently closed, contradicting the majority of recent reviews and active social media presence.
